Technical Recruiter

Senior Technical RecruiterSupply chain operations are some of the most complex, high-stakes workflows in any business — and for too long, the teams running them have had to hold it together manually. Missed shipments, cascading exceptions, hours of coordination that pulls people away from the work that actually moves the business forward. The infrastructure hasn't kept up with the complexity. BackOps is changing that. We build agentic AI that automates the operational work that supply chain teams have always had to do by hand — not by wrapping AI around legacy tools, but by rethinking the infrastructure from the ground up. We're ~50 people, headquartered in San Francisco, and backed by investors who support category-defining companies early and with conviction: our Series A was led by Theory Ventures, with participation from Gradient, Construct Capital, and 10VC. The problem is real, the timing is right, and we're building the team that will define how this space evolves. If you want to do work that matters, with people who take ownership seriously, at a company where what you build becomes the foundation — keep reading.The RoleWe're hiring our first in-house recruiter — someone who finds real satisfaction in the hunt: sourcing relentlessly, running a tight process, and closing candidates who weren't actively looking. This is a high-volume, full-cycle role built for someone who loves the craft and wants to go deep on it. Technical hiring is where we need you most. Our engineering and product teams are growing fast, and the competition for this talent means inbound alone won't get it done. You'll report to the Head of People & Talent and own full-cycle execution across your own reqs — with real input into how you source, sell, and close. You'll have the support and context to do it well, and the trust to run your searches your way.What You'll DoOwn full-cycle technical recruiting — from kickoff through close — across engineering, product, and adjacent technical rolesBuild and run sourcing strategies that consistently surface high-caliber, often passive candidatesPartner with hiring managers to calibrate the bar and run structured, high-signal interview loopsTrack and improve your own funnel metrics — time-to-fill, offer-accept rate, source qualityRepresent BackOps authentically to candidates — tell the story, build trust, close with convictionManage multiple technical searches simultaneously without compromising quality or candidate experienceWhat We're Looking For4–7 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with meaningful time at early-stage or high-growth startupsProven track record hiring technical talent — engineers, infrastructure, product — with a high, well-calibrated barA relentless sourcer who hunts passive candidates rather than waiting on inboundStrong closer with a track record of winning candidates against competing offersClear, compelling communicator who can represent a company's mission and culture with authenticityMotivated by being the best in the market at full-cycle technical recruitingBased in or willing to relocate to San FranciscoWhy BackOpsBe the first in-house recruiter at a company redefining supply chain infrastructure with AIReal input in how we build our technical team — with the strategic support to do it wellBacked by Theory Ventures, Gradient, Construct Capital, and 10VCCompetitive salary, meaningful equity, and comprehensive benefits
